To Get Rid of Warts.

The arsenic treatment is well adapted
for warts. The top of the wart should
either be sliced off with a sharp knife,
cut off with pair of scissors, or de-
stroyed with drop of some caustic.
such as nitric acid. 1t is then to be
painted with the arsenic solution two or
three times day. In short time it
undergoes a change 'and appears to
break up into number of pieces. 1t
may then be removed or turned out
without the slightest pain or difficulty.
There are several other means of get
ting rid of warts. Their vitality is low,
and they are usually readily destroyed
by the application OF the cauStic or
astringent. The strong acetic acid
is often used for this purpose. 1t should
be applied with a glass rod until the
wart is pretty we'll sodden with the
acid. 1t may have to be applied more
than once, and care should be taken to
prevent it from coming in contact with
the surrounding skin, or il may cause a
blister. Small warts occurring in num-
bers may usually be got rid of certainly
and painlessly by keeping them con-
stantly moist with lotion made by
adding two drams of dilute nitric acid
to a pot of water. Lunar caustic is
sometimes used for warts, but its action
is, as a rule, too superficial to be of
much service. When warts or warty
growths occur on the nose, lips, or any
part beside the hands. chronic acid
may be used. The solution is made by
dissolving a hundred grains of crystal
lized chronic acid in an ounce of water.
The solution is best applied by the acid
of pointed glass rod, or, when a large
quantity is required, by means of
small glass tube drawn to a point.
Only so much should be applied, as will
saturate the diseased growth. and it
should not be brought in contact with
the surrounding tissues. Any super
fuous acid is to be removed by piece
of blOtting paper or wet lint The ap-
plication usually produces only a tenn
porary smarting, unless, indeed, the
part is liberated, when the pain is more
severe and of longer duration. After
the application of the chronic acid 1t is
a good plan to dress the part with lint
dressed in lead lotion, as it relieves the
soreness and restraints the Inflammation.
Under the influences of this treatment
the growth usually rapidly wastes, in
some cases being thrown off altogether
and in others undergoing a partial,
though distinct. diminution in size. In
the majority OF eases one application
sufices. the cure being complete in four
to eight days. When, however the
warts are very large, repeated applica-
tions may be necessary Tie Family

Recent Sale Of Guinness Brewery

The Guinness Brewery, in Dublin,
has recently been converted into a
stock company. While the colossal size
of this business is notorious, few would
realize the amount of money that would
be put into the stock of the new compa-
ny. The subscriptions for stock were
received by Barring Bros. The scene at
their office is described rs little short of
riot. Men literally fought to get near
the counter. Prospcctuses sold freely at
half crown and three shiiIings apiece.
The stock was divided into three classes
ordinary, preferred, and debenture-
the premiums on which this sale ranged
from 81 down to Is per cent The cap
italizatlon had been fixed at G6.000 900.
On this sale the market value rose to
9S,6l0,000 OF about $40, COO 600. The
actual value of the stock and fixtures,
beer on hand. manufacturing plant,
and real estate was estimated at 92,-
5000 showing public estimation of
the value of the good will'' at over
G6 600, 600, or nearly $4,000, goo. 1t is
said that over one hundred millions of
pounds sterling of capital were offered
to Barring Bros. The last statement,
however, is pronounced as open to
doubt

The DYak as q Climber.

The Hill Dyaks of Borneo age expert
climbers. Mr.. Hornaby, while collect
ing specimens of natural history, saw d
Dyak ascend large tapang tree, five feet
in diameter at the base, straight as n
ships mast, and without the smallest
limb or knot for 100 feet up.
The man went up the tree to secure
bees nest hanging from the under side of
the lowest limb. The nest was simply
large, naked, triangular piece of white
comb.
A Dyak bladder" had been put up the
previous year, and reached from the
ground to the branches. 1t consisted of
seven twenty foot bamboo poles held al
most end to end alongside the trunk by
sharp pegs driven into the soft wood
about two feet apart.
The pegs were driven first on one side
of the poles and then on the other, and
to them the bamboos were lashed by rat
tans, which held them firmly about eight
inches from the tree. These pegs served
as the rrngs of the ladder.
The builder must have been bold
man, with nerves of steel. He was
obliged to let the ends of the poles over
lap a few feet in order to build the ladder
with safety to himself.
The completion of the ladder was most
difficult. Clinging to the slight bamboo
pole, 100 feet from the ground, he hauled
up the last bamboo, twenty feet long.
drove in the peg, dashed the lower end of
the pole to it, and then assembled that
shaking bamboo to fasten it at the top.
The Dyak honey hunter fastened to his
back basket to receive the honey. Max
ing up his torchwood, with which to
smoke the bees out of the nest and away
from himself, he ignited it, slung it by a
cord from his neck, so that it would hang
below his feet, and started upth slender
''ladder.''
Hand and foot he went up, peg after
peg, with nonchalant ease which would
have done credit to the most daring of
sailors. Even that sailor would have
been pardoned if he was little shaky,
while climbing a tall factory chimney by
the lightning rod.
On reaching the lower limb, 1913 feet
from the ground, he took his torch in one
hand, waved it to and fro, until it smoked
freely, and then crawled out along the
bare branch until he was in reach of the
coveted nest.
Examining it first on one side, and then
on the other, he shouted down as cheer
fully as if his climb had been nothing,
''No honeyl''
Leaving the comb untouched, he de-
scended, with a smile, and reached the
ground without the least tremor.-

The Lick TELESCOPE.

What the Lick telescope will do will
depend on men who have the handling of
it. 1t will not make discoveries of itself.
All that can be said of it is that it will
place in the hands of painstaking COM
petent observers the best means now in
existence of scanning the heavens. If
they do not turn the means to account it
will not be the fault of the telescope. In
times past some small telescopes have
made more important discoveries than
stand to the credit of some of the large
telescopes Of our day. But this is not be-
cause the small instruments were better,
but because in proportion to the progress
of exploration the unexplored area of the
heavens naturally diminishes. There is
less to be discovered now than there was
in the time of the elder Herschel.
Nor is it logical to deride large tele-
scopes because Lord Roses great instru-
ment has added little to its early nebular
discovery. His telescope is powerful,
but it Is not exact or accurate, and every
observer knows that exactness and pre-
cision In telescope are even more i'm
portant than power. Professor Davidson
says that the Lick telescope will unveil
stars of one degree fainter magnitude
than can be detected by the instruments
now in use. This would be no small gain.
A correspondingly increased power ought
to add to our knowledge of Mars, which
is the planet of most immediate interest
to observers on this globe.-San Fran

Adyices from Anadarko, Indian
Agency, are to the effect that there has
been great excitement there, owing to
the action of the Kiowas. War talk
began over a week ago. but Quanah
Parker, Chief of the Comanches, not
only held his own tribe in check, but
influenced the better element of the
Kiowas. But few of this tribe would
listen to him, and with their war talk
began depredations on the cattlemen.
A band of them roamed over the cattle
country, visiting residences and greatly
frightening the women and children.
They made such demonstrations about
the school at AnadarkO as to terroriZe
the children.
The military were notified, and Cap
tain Hall determined to withhold beef
rations from the Kiowas that had
caused trouble, but when Friday came
more of the leaders came in, and it was
then determined to arrest them. This
becoming known, the KiOwas became
alarmed, and, leaving their traps,
wagons, &c, took their women and
children and all their ponies to strong
hold OH the Rainy Mountain, about
forty miles from AnadarkO. Troops
were at once sent in pursuit, and went
into camp at Wichita, eight miles from
the Indian position. They advanced
to the base of the mountain on the fol-
lowing night. After three days parley
the Indians agreed to give up tie
offending Indians to the soldiers located
near the fort, where they could be
watched. The troops returned to Ana
darko with the prisoners.

abstinence from all food. He takes no
more than pint and half of Water
per day. This, with the three tea
spoonfuls of DR.. Fischer'S Elixir, is all
the nourishment received by him. For

one or two oranges per day, but this he
has given UP. He attends to all his
duties in the Department, appears to
be as strong as before he began fasting,
and in general health he is greatly inn

in girth and about tliIty-five pounds
in weight. He sleeps well, and the
asthmatic trouble with which he suf-
fered greatly before he began to fast is

it is only when the desire for office and
preferment eats like canker worm

sweetness, looses her fury, and turns
her pretty spring bonnet into a batter
ram
